Ice Cream and Oysters

No, I'm not pregnant. They're just my most recent listings on Etsy. The ice cream cone I picked up from the coffee shop on Monday, but the oyster is new. I think it would look good in a set, so I've been kicking around some ideas of sets of 3 in 4x4 or 6x6 groupings. Any ideas of good themes for groupings of 2 or 3? I'm feeling a coastal vibe lately, so maybe I'll go with that.

I also agreed to do a market today! It doesn't start until March 9th, but I'm already getting excited about it. I don't do many shows or markets. In the past, they just haven't been very beneficial for business. But this... this is at the local mom & pop store about 3 minutes away from my house. I can't resist something that will bring exposure as well as benefit my community. So on Saturday, March 9th (and every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the months following), I'll be hanging out at McDaniel's General Merchandise for McHenry Market! I'm looking forward to it. I plan to take all of my Etsy listing paintings as well as new pieces, because I can list them as sold on Etsy if they happen to sell at market.

But for now, Etsy listings it is. An ice cream cone, listed here...

Gold Mandala on Red

A little something different... I like to do pieces like this from time to time when I need to relax and realign. It's a gold mandala pattern on a red background, on a 12x12 acrylic canvas. Rather than list my larger canvases on Etsy, I usually take them to a local coffee shop/gallery for purchase there in order to keep my shipping costs down for my Etsy customers. But this piece is still available for purchase.

Lemon Wedged

This was day 42 of my 90 day painting challenge, listed here on Etsy. I like the texture I was able to achieve on the lemon half and wedges. These paintings aren't posted in any particular order other than the way they were listed on Etsy. With future 90 day painting challenges, I plan to post them all in order here.

Avocados and Insects

It's been a lazy day. Not that I'm complaining. I did manage to list a bumblebee painting on Etsy though... And here's the avocado painting I listed on Etsy yesterday... They're both going to the McHenry Market at McDaniel's General Merchandise in McHenry on March 9th. I don't usually do markets and craft shows, but this one is right in the middle of my (tiny) community and I'm looking forward to checking it out. It's a farmer's market with homemade items as well. And it's from 12-4 on a Saturday so I don't even have to wake up early. Sweet!
